§ 51. Mr. Leadbitterasked the Minister of Technology what steps he is taking to utilise the British Computer Industry in providing the wide range of computer systems which will be necessary in the reorganisation of the steel industry.
§ Mr. DellThe choice of computers for the reorganised steel industry will rest with the industry itself. The Computer Advisory Service will become available to the steel industry, as it now is to the other nationalised industries. My right hon. Friend will ensure that the merits of the excellent products of the British computer industry are drawn to the attention of those concerned, and will promote the development of steel industry computer applications by development contracts and other means.
